Using the tuner
Chapter 8:
Using the tuner
Listening to the radio broadcasts
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM
radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual
(step) tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later. See Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.

Improving poor FM reception:
1
Press ST/MONO repeatedly to select MONO.
This will change the tuner from stereo to mono and usually

Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall
whenever you want to listen to that station (Preset tuning).
This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit
can memorize up to 45 stations.
(FM 30 stations/AM 15 stations)

preset station. When a new station is stored in the
memory, the station previously memorised for that
preset channel number will be erased.
Note
• The backup function protects the memorised stations for
a few hours should there be a power failure or the AC
power cord become disconnected.
